Fine, Medium and of course, Coarse

A friend recently ran across an issue where they wanted the interior lines of walls, the Gypsum etc. (aka the "Common Edges" wall subcategory, in Revit speak) to show up in a view but she also wanted the structural framing in the view to show up as Coarse (a single dark dashed line in this case) .

Sometimes you don't want to be limited by having to choose just "Fine", "Medium" or "Coarse" for the entire view, you want different elements to show up differently. Well you can, it's commonly overlooked that right inside of your Visibility and Graphics settings you can adjust each category individually and separate from the view.
